Specification FM/PCM sound board for C-BUS on PC-9801
Junk Point BEEP was not an option
Story 17 years ago when I was in third year of college and enterd pharmacological institute, I ask for my parent to buy me NEC-9801-VX2,PPC-PR201TL and external 2FDD of 3.5inches for the "data analysis of experiments".It was costed 590,000yen(about 6000$),but I was an amaturer in PC and hardly use it for the analysis. So I used this expensive device for a Game Machine until my friend copied for me some word processing software and I worked with it to write a graduating paper.
I got "Professional Mahjong" by Chanoir at the first time. But I thought It was bored not to play it with sound. Then I visited ...."A-KI-BA"at the first time of my life.
I felt a primitive terror for Tokyo. So I passed Shinjuku, where I heard the "AIDS-HAZARD AREA by Air", stopping breathing and got to "the sanctury" at last.But I was confused and walked around the enter of the BlackWitch-town, where the devils are flying around here and there. and after all, I felt fear to this town and rushed into "Sato-Musen Akihabara Station Branch"
"E...eeeexcuse me, but may I have the 'Kyu-hachi(PC-9801)'sound board?"
"Here." sales stuff said.
"well.....How much for thi.."
"26,000yen"
"I.....I see, But how much for this....?"
"26,000yen. Can you hear me?"
"I see.....But would you like to sell it for a little bit discount?"
"Then You'll get out here to other shop and find it"
....I was in the Akiba and the genuine parts of gullivar maker. It was never sold for discount. I was too naive to know the "common in Akiba".
I paid too much money for this device, go back to Kanazawa, installed this and run the software....."It sound poor".
I tried to run this software without this board...."I can hear the sound!"
Almost all the games at that time can play with the BEEP sound...-;

So I've finished this term to tell the point of line, but....
What I got may be "PC-9801-26K", the older sound board for PC-9801. This "86-board" seems to "my fault" when I became immersed in "The legend of Galactic Hero(SpaceWar Simulation Game)"
I think it's all right because this is a "standard 98 sound board"
